Best Answer

Union General US Grant had two problems regarding the US Civil War Battle of Cold Harbor before his planned assault even took place. One problem was one he himself created. First it was a day late, giving the Confederates to bolster their defenses. The second problem was that Union generals US grant and General Meade, had not bothered to properly scout the Rebel's positions, therefore not fully understanding where they were concentrated and where they were not. These came to be key factors in the Union's defeat at Cold Harbor in 1864.
